Gradle and Ant build systems both require a properties file to specify release signing parameters. However, the key names for Gradle are Cordova-specific and they are not the same as the one used in Ant:
Gradle: storeFile=..\\..\\android.keystore storePassword=android keyAlias=nikhilkh keyPassword=password Ant: key.store=..\\..\\android.keystore key.alias=nikhilkh key.store.password=android key.alias.password=password I'm considering unifying the key names - changing the gradle ones to be the same as Ant. This will help in an easier implementation of this JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8483 Let me know if you see issues with this. I will shortly send out a PR for this. Thanks, Nikhil
